Hard to believe that it was nearly 30 years ago that Judas Priest released their groundbreaking LP British Steel. And yes, as Rob Halford told the crowd, it was an LP. From beginning to end, Priest ripped through the legendary album in its entirety and through in a few fan faves…it was Metal History.

Thanks for posting Kevin! I saw the Chicago stop and they were the HEAVIEST they’ve ever been! I was so blown away, Rob sang his ass off, he was so into it and I think it elevated the whole show. I was surprised when “Freewheel Burning” was kicked into and “Hell Bent” rested. They were on fire.
